V1andV2 Hedged EA: Beautiful Equity Curve - page 4

mikejody:Thanks Drgoodvibe. What in your opinion and testing is "small lots relative to a large account" as it relates to a mini account? In other words, what would be a good balance in a mini-account to avoid any margin calls.

Also, I use 400.1 leverage which would obviously help to withstand any possible margin call as well.

Thank you.

I am using IBFX mini account. Which means that .01 lots is 1 cent, Or $0.01. To trade at this level you would need at least $500.

Now here's the trick to the major money management of this.. at $600 the compounding will increase to 0.02 or $0.02. My Plan is to remove 50% of all equtiy that is gained in the account every two weeks.

So if I made let's say $100 in two weeks, I would remove $50 from the account and just put in a Savings account. This way after a couple of weeks you will have the money you initially invested in this strategy and you will no longer need to be too worried about a margin call becuase you're trading with money you have taken from the market.

note: this is an extremely conservative money management strategy to an extremely aggressive trading strategy. The hedging is great and really pads the account, but the martingaleing like many have said before me will destroy your account. It's not an IF it's a when..
